vegetables. A gift of fine vegetables came from the president of the Minersville Ward Relief Society. Beaver merchants were generous. At the end of 30 days, the total amount paid for food purchased was less than $60. There were no losses in food except to a marauding skunk that depleted the camp's egg supply, and the boys claimed left only a "scent." Emma Ford claimed that she about "demonished" the camp, but history has it that she simply caused some nausea and some good laughs when she pampered the boys with a special raisin-filled pudding, sweetened one and a half times. However, the one and also the half was salt, mistaken for sugar. Evenings came to be the real joy of the busy day. When darkness came to the canyon, huge fires were built mostly for warmth, because the nights were chilly. The ladies directed impromptu programs. Group singing, story telling, a harmonica solo, added beauty to nature's ready contribution of mountains, trees and stream. Not once did the ladies or boys complain of hard labor or discomfort. It was a privilege, rather than a task, to serve at "01' Murdock." It would have been possible to have obtained twice' as many willing workers. And there was one phrase in common that echoed from the young men and ladies alike : "I enjoyed every minute of it."
